CAT: Debt Collections · REPORTED March 17, 2017

Breast Cancer Support scam

A debt collections scam report, targeting a consumer in TN, USA - 38134.

Narrative evidence

What happened

When I answered the phone, the caller said my first name as if confirming who was speaking. When I said yes, the woman said "You know you are harder to get a hold of than getting my kids to clean their room." There was a pause as I tried to figure out if I knew the caller and then a clearly recorded spiel about sending me info on donating to breast cancer support started. They asked if they could count on me and I hung up. This is the second call I received from this number but the first time I've answered.
